Generative AI offers remarkable opportunities to supercharge the ways in which we work across the legal industry. However, its integration into legal practice also presents significant ethical and professional challenges. This course will delve into both the challenges and opportunities, including a discussion of the American Bar Association’s first formal opinion on generative AI, Formal Opinion 512, and other ways in which the landscape has evolved over the past year, to provide an overview of the ethical considerations and best practices for using generative and other forms of AI in legal and legal adjacent work.

For the first time, we’re opening up this session, which forms a key part of our Crowell Generative AI training, to clients. This session is designed for any legal professional eager to harness AI tools while upholding the highest standards of professional responsibility. 

We’ll cover:

  • A Generative AI Refresher and Update on Its Use in Legal
  • True Tales of Irresponsible Generative AI Use
  • Ethical and Legal Obligations Implicated by Generative AI
  • Key Points of ABA Formal Opinion 512 (July 29, 2024)
  • Legal Department Perspectives on How Firms Should (Not) Use AI
  • Best Practices to Leverage Generative AI While Mitigating Risks and Complying with Ethical Obligation

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
